Either they eventually fail/become evil, or they don't. If they do, just move somewhere else. If they don't, good.

(Benefits of non-proprietary software and standards like git.)

And therefore I will vote with my $$$ and stay on GitHub until there is a real reason to do otherwise (and at that point enjoy the benefits of standards like git).

Alas, like several others have pointed out, this doesn’t scale to GitHubs other services like GH Pages, or their Wiki, issue tracker, etc.
